Q:

A, B and C enter into a partnership with a capital in which A's contribution is Rs. 10,000. If out of a total profit of Rs. 1000, A gets Rs. 500 and B gets Rs. 300, then C's capital is :

A) 4000 B) 5000
C) 6000 D) 7000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 4000

Explanation:

A : B : C = 500 : 300 : 200 = 5 : 3 : 2.

Let their capitals be 5x, 3x and 2x respectively.

Then, 5x = 10000  

=>  x = 2000.

C's capital = 2x = Rs. 4000.

Q:

The difference between compound interest and simple interest on a sum for two years at 8% per annum, where the interest is compounded annually is Rs.16. if the interest were compounded half yearly , the difference in two interests would be nearly

A) Rs.24.64 B) Rs.21.85
C) Rs.16 D) Rs.16.80
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs.24.64

Explanation:

For 1st year S.I =C.I.

 

Thus, Rs.16 is the S.I. on S.I. for 1 year, which at 8% is thus Rs.200

 

i.e S.I on the principal for 1 year is Rs.200

 

Principle = Rs.100*2008*1 = Rs.2500

 

Amount for 2 years, compounded half-yearly

 Rs.2500*1+41004=Rs.2924.4

 

C.I = Rs.424.64

 

Also, S.I=Rs.2500*8*2100=Rs.400

 

Hence, [(C.I) - (S.I)] = Rs. (424.64 - 400) = Rs.24.64
